Grabbers tells the story of Ciarán O'Shea, a charming but heavy-drinking local Garda who is tasked with greeting Lisa Nolan, a straight-laced young officer who has just arrived to a small fishing village off the West coast of Ireland. Not that there's much for them to do, aside from dealing with the occasional drunk, and that's usually O'Shea himself. But strange doings are afoot - the crew of a fishing boat disappears, whales start appearing dead on the shore. It's time to rally the villagers, arm the troops and head to the pub! "Jon Wright's Irish set horror Grabbers, feels like a welcome return to the days of the 1980s creature features laced with comedy."

FOXES
A young couple trapped in a remote estate of empty houses and shrieking foxes are beckoned from their isolation into a twilight world of the paranormal or perhaps insanity.
